Style: The Clash

I am a big believer in matching. I think that clashing prints, in a weird way, is sort of like matching them. If you keep a neutral back drop, like black, then technically your outfit is still matching on a colour base. The trick is to find some element between the pieces that ties them together. I've given it a whirl here, using polka dots as my staple. Using simple accessories with colours from your outfit ties it all together. 

Even though these two pieces totally clash, they somehow work as one. 

Fashion: Florals? In Spring?....

Despite what Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada thinks, I love spring and I love florals and I love them together. 

Here I am defying all the rules. 

(you can always defy the rules as long as you wear a grey t-shirt because a grey t-shirt will go with everything). 

Style: Oh! Spring how I love you

How much do you love spring!

The sun is out!

The birds are out!

The flowers are out!

The snakes are out (oh)...

Maybe not the snakes. 

Utterly terrified. 

But as you can see I am combating my fear because the fruit is also out, 

and I can make lemonade. 

(there was some dispute as to whether these were in fact oranges or lemons 

(said the bells of St Clements) but we did eventually discern that they were the latter. 

I might even share my lemonade recipe 

(because you're just all so spesh and it's so spring). 

I love that weather where it's still cold enough to wear pants, 

but warm enough to go bare sleeved and sandal clad. 

I also love when an entire outfit is op shopped!
YAY! 

Wishing you safety from slithery bitey things and lovely weather, 

Miranda

Arty Farty: This is possibly the best thing I've ever seen

 Art History + High Street fashion trends = a totally new hybridisation of brilliance.

How darling are these appropriations?!? 

The Frida Kahlo one is currently my lock screen because I love it so...

it even replaced my previous Rocky Horror one!
(shock, I know... something earthly can actually compete with Tim Curry) 

Enjoy.

Style Muse: Natalie Joos

This woman is very funky in the way she puts together outfits; I like the eclectic whirlwind of different styles that create one style.

I love the coordination between the shoes, sunnies, lips and purse. 

The crisp white top is a really good choice as it balances out all of the colours

and craziness of the t-shirt motif. 

The floaty, feminine skirt contrasts with the chunky knit but it all works well together. 

I love that headband too. 

I'd love to try this sheer look, how the skirt is short but then it drapes to almost full length.

The leotard/body suit behind which matches the shoes is effective too, as it is really 

tricky to pull off sheer where you can see under garments.
